It’s hot. I know this because the news has told me so.

What I really can’t wait for is this weekend. I have a wedding to go to in St. Louis, where it’s normally about 50 degrees hotter than anywhere else within 3 hours, for some reason. Did I mention it’s an outdoor wedding? In August? In St. Louis?

Blah.

Moving on…

As I mentioned a few days ago, the Rangers hit the trade deadline, collecting good (see Carlos Lee) and decent (see Matt Stairs) and mediocre (see the rest) offense to go with… well, a whole ton of good, decent, and mediocre offense. Turning a complete blind eye to the pitching they so desperately need (see 15-2 loss at Minnesota last night), until the last minute.

And then…Kip Wells.

Was the JUGS machine pulled off the table or something?

This is not good.
